OK, first we've got to correct some labels for spelling and capitalization:

Brother Sally Taylor Phal. amboinensis 'Lang Ching' x Hannover Passion 'B1' Sharry likes it warm and probably about as bright as you can get it (I hang mine with the vandas, but it can do with less light), and likely to be watered pretty thoroughly. It was the first fine-rooted plant I attempted in S/H, and was amazed at how well it took to it... -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .

Claude,
How exciting for you! If your plea for help is meant to elicit advice on what you can do to not be an orchid addicts, I fear you won't get it here. :-) A bit about peloric equestris: Personally I am very fond of many pelorics (though there are some where the effect of pelorism is nicer and others where its more weird, but it is a personal preference, and often I like even the weird ones). Some people differentiate between peloric and semi-peloric -- is your plant currently in bloom? If so, please try posting a photo of it on your Web site, I would love to see it. Another rgo'er who is very fond of pelorics is Al, and he is also very experienced both with pelorics and with equestris (he has a huge gorgeous pot filled with equestris), so if you have any questions about this plant, you may want to try eliciting Al's advice. Things I know about equestris (I've got one of them too, but mine is not peloric): After flowering, don't cut the spike, the plant will decide if it wishes to reuse it. Phal equestris are a species renowned for having keikis more frequently than other Phals. My plant was a keiki off of Al's -- it was still a keiki in spring of 2003, and now it's flowering beautifully, don't be fooled by the small plant size, these little guys flower early. I am hoping that I will keep it alive and get it to keiki, and then following Al's example I plan to put the keiki plant in the same pot as the mother plant, hoping to someday get a colony of many equestris. With an equestris I have heard the advice that it is good to leave the keiki attached to the mother plant as long as possible, since it can happen that then both the mother plant and the keiki bloom, and that's supposed to be quite a sight. Phal equestris reminds me a bit of a spider plant but with lots of beautiful orchid flowers. Best, Joanna "Claude" wrote in message ... Hello everyone! I still did it!

Thank you Ray!
About the Oncidium, there is 4 bulbs, pretty big about 4 inch height by 3 inch large and 2 inch think. leaves have between 8 to 14 inches long. The bulbs are hard, smooth, no wrinkle! No aerial roots visible. It`s in a bark mix in a 8 inches diameter plastic green pot. What should I do! Is it time to repot in S/H or should I wait? How to induce blooming? Thanks Claude |
